Installing the original android developed roms - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

when i try to install the non stock roms i get an abort message on cwm for some reason? any help?

What is your fail message? Could be your recovery version or could be your bootloader. We need more details of the problem and what you've done to troubleshoot it.

Can nor restore to default Rom. Any suggestions

I tried restoring back to uprooted original Rom but the RUU errors out. Even downloaded new one.
I then extracted the boot and system image and the boot will flash but the system shows as bad and will not flask.
Rebooted and tried to recovery the rom zip but again fails as bad.
So right now I am at a lost on how to restore to a factory fresh system.
Thanks

Is this the error you are getting?
Error Code: -5001 : 0x80070002
Error Information:
>SetupNew\setup.cpp (142)
I'm getting the same thing with the RUU I downloaded and am seeking to get back to stock. So far no success, but see my thread below to see if something I've tried might work for you.

It'll be easier to diagnose your problem if you post any error messages.
You need to have stock recovery before running an RUU.

I have the stock RUU I used it last month without issue. When running it when it try's to update ram I get an unknown error 155. Make sure you have correct software.
When I extract the rom to flask. It fails and says bad rom.
I was able to find a zip original rom and using recovery from zip I was able to install and revert to 1.29.401.11
But trying download the software update to the new version after installing the original recovery and relocking it fails on install. It get about a quarter of the way through then recovery gets a red exclamatory or something and installation stops. So I tried installing the RUU again and still get the same error hoping that a fresh install would correct the update issue.
I hope this helps

Did you try power and up-vol at the red exclamation screen. I thought I saw somewhere that this will work (trying to find the link for it)? Give it a shot and let us know.

OK, I get it, you don't have a problem getting back to stock, but rather it's an OTA update error you have. I don't know anything about OTA updates but this error message should help someone else troubleshoot what's going on. Is it possible that you've used the incorrect RUU, but it just happened to work for you and now your image does not correspond with your correct OTA? Maybe post the exact file name of your RUU and the results of "fastboot getvar cid" and "fastboot getvar version-main".
Good luck!

4.1.2 Update problem

I started posting on a thread in the general section but think it is better suited over here. I apologize for the double post but thought it would get more eyes with a suggestion on it over here.
I was running a Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked 4.1.1. I have not been able to update to 4.1.2. I tried using CWM, TWRP, stock recovery and ODIN. CWM and TWRP give an error and won't install the update. I completely reflashed to stock and downloaded the OTA using the stock method. It tries to udpate and stops. After restarting it gives a message that the update was interupted.
I have tried installing the update through stock recovery with the file on the external SD card and the following message appears.
The other message that comes up when trying to update through stock recovery is
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Facelock.apk", :c0c83a8c5d02786abed70758022dce17e1fb3a6f", "1bel1a17f8063aba12220a38a38caa7b3382ec96bbeb")

Flash stock rooted 4.1.2 in cwm or twrp, you can find it in room development, you need to flash modem and firmware first which you will find in loser skaters first post of stock rooted 4.1.2

It sounds like your stock Rom is rooted. Unroot and try again. Same thing happened top me this morning as i did the update.zip again for a project. Unrooted with SuperSU and then it ran like normal. Don't forget to back up your internal sd, as it will be wiped in the process
You can just flash the already rooted 4.1.2?
Unless you want to download it from att? Wouldn't make sense to me.

I had similar problem, but the error was with bootanimation. I found my original file and put it where the update was looking for it. I am willing to bet that the Facelock.apk is not in /system/app or there is a problem with that file.

Issue installing new ROMS in SGH-M919

Just to provide all the information I have on hand, I have the
T-Mobile SGH-M919
android version 4.3
baseband version M919UVUEMK2
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7
My issue is that regardless of what rom I attempt to download i get the error below. Specifically, I've tried to download virginROM 2.3, which seems to be compatible with my device. From what I understand status 7 is in place to keep you from flashing an incompatible rom and so I'm not too sure how to proceed from here. Any and all help would be appreciated.

I just ran into this a few minutes ago using Philz Touch. The solution I found was under the install zip menu, you should see "Don't Allow Old update-binary. It should have a check-mark; simply untick that option and try again.

I'm using CWM and I don't see the option to check "donm't allow old update-binary." When I turn toggle signature verification off I get
E:footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
and then get prompted to ask if i want to install an untrusted package. I attempted to download and apply the new 4.4.2 Google Edition by Davnh, haven't tried TWCP yet but i feel like it should still be doable via CWM.
